Not really. We wanted a client that had a different philosophy than
Psi's (mostly around ease of use and targeting 'normal' users) and we
couldn't change Psi without upsetting the current users, who liked all
the customisations and things (as an example of difference in
philosophy, Psi had an option to not only turn on a character count
for your messages, but also whether that should be rendered as normal
text, or faux-LCD style). So Remko and I started again to produce
Swift, but as far as I can tell Psi is still maintained by a new set
of devs.
